SODAX: cross-network execution SDK — Solana included
SODAX is a hub-and-spoke cross-chain DeFi SDK: intent swaps, lend/borrow, bridge, and staking across 20+ networks including Solana. Packages, Solana support matrix, and how builders integrate @sodax/sdk.
devrels.xyz/a/205short linkSODAX: cross-network execution infrastructure — one SDK so product teams can quote and move value across Solana and 20+ other chains without rebuilding liquidity and bridging stack per network. Site: sodax.com. SDKs: icon-project/sodax-sdks. Directory: SODAX organisation · recommended via devrels.xyz/recommend by @hazy0.
What it is
SODAX positions as “infrastructure for modern money”: unified pricing and intent-based settlement so apps can expose trade, lend, and yield across networks from a single integration. Marketing claims include large addressable liquidity, high quote throughput, and a low base fee per tx — treat live numbers as product-site claims and verify in their partner materials.
Technically the open monorepo describes a hub-and-spoke design with Sonic as the hub chain, supporting swaps (intent/solver), lending/borrowing, staking, bridging, DEX (concentrated liquidity), token migration, partner fees, and recovery flows across many EVM and non-EVM networks — Solana included.
Network coverage (from SDK docs)
| Family | Networks (examples) |
|---|---|
| EVM | Sonic, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, BSC, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche, HyperEVM, Lightlink, Redbelly, Kaia, Hedera |
| Non-EVM | Solana, Sui, Stellar, ICON, Injective, NEAR, Stacks, Bitcoin |
SDK feature matrix (Solana)
| Module | Job | Solana |
|---|---|---|
| Swaps (solver) | Cross-chain intent-based swaps | Supported |
| Money market | Cross-chain lend / borrow | Supported |
| Bridge | Cross-chain token bridging | Supported |
| Staking | SODA staking paths | Supported |
| Migration | Legacy ICON-era assets → SODA/bnUSD paths | ICON-centric (see docs) |
“Supported” means the published SDK matrix lists Solana for that module — always re-check docs.sodax.com for current limits, assets, and spoke readiness before production.
Package surface
| Package | Role |
|---|---|
@sodax/sdk | Core facade: swap, bridge, money market, staking, partner ops |
wallet-sdk-core | Multi-chain signing/broadcast providers |
wallet-sdk-react | React connectors + state (EIP-6963 where relevant) |
dapp-kit | Higher-level React hooks + React Query |
skills | AI agent knowledge for integration and v1→v2 migration |
npm i @sodax/sdk
# optional React stack
# npm i @sodax/wallet-sdk-react @sodax/dapp-kit
# AI coding agents

| Need | Lean SODAX | Lean Solana-native |
|---|---|---|
| Swap only on Solana AMMs | Overkill unless you also leave Solana | Jupiter / DFlow / OKX |
| User deposits on ETH, acts on Solana (or reverse) | Primary fit (intent + spokes) | Custom bridge + two wallets |
| Unified lend/borrow UX across chains | Money market module | Per-chain money markets |
| Agent-driven multi-chain ops | SDK + published skills | Chain-specific MCP/tools you assemble |
Builder checklist
| # | Step |
|---|---|
| 1 | Read partner / docs entry: docs.sodax.com |
| 2 | Install @sodax/sdk; pin versions; run demo app from the monorepo if you want a reference UI |
| 3 | Confirm Solana assets and routes you need are live (sodaVariants / asset directory on the site) |
| 4 | Wire wallet path (core vs React) for Solana + any EVM spokes you support |
| 5 | Prototype one intent swap Solana ↔ another spoke; log fees and settlement time |
| 6 | If using agents, install SODAX skills so codegen hits current v2 APIs |

Bottom line
SODAX is a multi-chain execution SDK with Solana as a spoke, not a Solana-only DEX aggregator. If your product needs users to trade, lend, or bridge across networks from one integration, start at @sodax/sdk and the Solana rows of their module matrix. If you only ever touch Solana liquidity, stay with Solana-native aggregators and money markets — and revisit SODAX when the second chain shows up in the PRD.

Kora sponsors SOL fees while users pay in SPL tokens. v2.2 tightens fee-payer protection, config validation, ALT caching, and operator controls — here is the current surface.
Solana Launch is not a token launchpad. It is the official hub for shipping apps faster: fee abstraction (Kora), enterprise private channels, commerce and Pay, attestations, wallet connector, signing keychain — with docs, GitHub, and recommended development shops.
